Opening Weekend Recap

[LadyStitch]

Did anyone see the young man dressed in full Natzi gear???
The employee restrooms/showers wheren't that clean either. What's with the freeze ya one second scald ya the next??? sheeshhh!!
My tent leaked( my fault) I had about three inches of water on the floor Friday night, wet beding and grumpy me. I need to learn how to stake a tent!

Yes we saw the guy. 
Yes we thought the portajohns were really messy this year, even in the back 40 behind the quickie mart.  I would like to know who's bright idea it was to go portajohn tipping. We woke up Saturday morning to find 1 of our John's tipped over.  Then on Sunday night some one tipped over the porta John's over behind the quickie mart.  I know it was raining hard on Sunday night  but I don't think the winds were THAT strong.

Our weekend was good.  We had to set up in the rain, but long live army surplus rain coats, and gumm boots!  Got our 2 10x20 canopy's up  put them side by side and using an extra side panel and some bungee's made rain gutters so we didn't have pooling water IN the canopy's.  My drinking and socializing was had that night. I actually slept well that night.  I got more sleep at camp than I did at home! Great day at the faire, and we met some of our freinds from here, but most didn't recognize us until they saw Jean Flamingo. 
Saturday stayed for fireworks and had much fun.  Slept well again, strangely enough.  EXCEPT for the group who decided to shoot off fireworks in camp at 4:05 AM , our camp was not amused. We thought someone's propane tank had exploded until we heard the ooo' ah's and Hazzah's.   We were late getting to the faire because of the rain.  We brought garbage bags to sit on, and umbrellas. We saw shows and enjoyed our selves.  This time we walked up to chat with people we knew.  For some reason  those who didn't recognize us in our regular garb recognized us in our secondary garb, odd.  I did try to say hi to Blue a couple times but either she didn't hear me or didn't know who I was.  Oh well.
Returned to camp Sunday night before the fireworks to make heat up the home made chili.  Found out our tent leaked , but we had put all the bedding in the middle of the air mattress, and had laid a tarp over it.   We had a small puddle just inside our tent door, but everything else was dry.  Long live keeping stuff in tubs! 
Was woken up at 4 AM to drops of rain splattering on my face. After a half hour gave up, packed up the interior of my tent.  Then went to our camps fire. An hour later fell asleep in my chair by the fire, woke up 3 hours later, and finished packing up the rest of camp.  Though DAMP it was a nice weekend for us.

The Rogue and I are going to try to come back last weekend.  We had too much fun this year to NOT go again.  We might need someone to stay with that weekend though.

We had left over alcohol none of us wanted to take home.  Nothing wrong with it, just didn't care for it.  We walked into a camp near by and said "Any one want free alcohol?!"  Yeah we were well liked.   Then again would you accept a guy dressed as a pink pirate? 

[LadyElizabeth]

OK so I didn't see the dude in Nazi gear, but my friend Demon, who dresses as one as well with wings and very scary looking!! Anyhow, he told me what he was going to do when he saw this guy.  He was going to walk up to the dude and get down in front of him like on his knees worshipping him and say something like "Wow, are you are real Nazi, I've heard so much about the evil your group does and I'm just in awe of it.  All the killing and mayhem your group caused is so impressive!!"  Or something like that, we were all playing off it and paraphrasing it, it was very funny and I really hope he got a chance to do it!! 

[Trillium]

Trillium...though you were a wet fae all day, you still looked beautiful.

Was also glad to finally get to meet everyone else...hope to be able to see everyone again soon.

You are so sweet!  Thank you!  It was wonderful to meet you!

Pink Pirate... wouldn't even cause anyone I know to blink twice lol

*Besides, pirates drink rum... and are therefore perfect in my eyes*

[Trillium]

I yelled at you during the parade and you didn't hear me either.  Although your hubby saw me and even commented on my wings, but didn't realize who I was!   I also saw you two as we passed the chain mail show but I was not about to fight that crowd to say hi.  Sorry but tight crowds and my wings don't mix!

Did anyone see the young man dressed in full Natzi gear???

Nope, but some friends saw him stroll by their store. 

[Fenster]

We had a great time Saturday.  The weather was perfect.  Saw a few friends and met a few new ones.     We'll be back Saturday with Fairies in tow.

Did anyone see the young man dressed in full Natzi gear???

He was dressed in a Nazi SS uniform, and yes, myself, Laird Daniel and both our wives saw him. Laird spotted him first and pointed him out to me, just as I was trying to figure out why he was dressed in an airline pilot uniform because my brain simply could not process what it was seeing. My very British wife, who's father served in the Royal Navy during WWII, was nearly beside herself, in seeing this person. I went directly to the Sheriffs deputy at the front gate, and was very curtly told that NOTHING could be done about it and that I should simply keep an open mind.

My open mind is still considering various forms of attrocity that could befall such an idiot.
